ocellaris and rbta

[harlequin tusk]

I recently added a rbta, 2 days ago into my 120g. I have an ocellaris that i've had in the tank for about 7-9 months (i'm not exactly sure about how long i had him because he lived in my overflow for a couple months while i presumed that he had been dinner for the crabs) and i am wondering how long it could possibly take for him to host the new rbta, if at all. Any input on how to make him like his new bta is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

The advice I have gotten is there is no forcing them to associate with a nem, it may take them a week a month a year.... or never. Depends on the nem and the clown. There are ways to entice them so I have been told, putting a picture of a clown hosting in a nem on the side of the tank they normally associate with can sometimes entice them to associate with the nem.

Pretty much anyone here with experience (which I have little) will tell you to be patient and don't force it, just wait for nature to take its course.

Okay thanks for the advice.
